I've been looking for a good book that helps students understand how to use Generative AI tools in the classroom. Fortunately this one ticks all the boxes - I really liked how it talks about using tools such as ChatGPT and Co-pilot to get inspiration for student work and how AI can be used as a personal tutor to help students focus on what they're being asked to do. The author takes a positive view of how we can use these new tools productively without losing site of our own creativity or focus.
David Meechan’s Generative AI for Students is an incredibly accessible and well-structured guide that demystifies the use of AI in academia. Written in a clear, engaging style, it offers a practical approach to integrating AI into university studies, making it an essential read for students looking to enhance their academic work efficiently and ethically.
A must-read for anyone working with students and/or wanting to better understand AI
This book is essential reading—not just for those working with students (though if you are, you really should read it!), but for anyone looking to understand AI better. It’s a user-friendly and insightful guide that breaks down how to use AI ethically and responsibly.
What really stood out to me was the emphasis on responsible AI use. The book offers practical advice and clear guidance, making it easy to see how AI can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully. Highly recommended!
As AI becomes increasingly more widely used, it’s more and more important for students to know how to use it properly. This provides a thorough and detailed explanation of how GenAI can support studying without crossing any ethical lines or getting you into trouble. It covers everything from introducing AI tools, using it to help plan assignments, refine study notes to making sense of feedback on assignments, as well as providing useful examples for many of the tip, with what was input from the user and the outcome from the AI.
This volume provides an interesting and useful volume for supporting both students and staff in identify where the use of artificial intelligence in assessment in Higher Education may be appropriate and / or ethical. The volume appropriately identifies that insitutional differences will have an impact on the issues of appropriate and acceptable use of AI. Given the HE sector differences it will take some time before a general concensus is agreed - if ever. In this environment the volume does provide a good basic approach to the issue of student use of AI in assessment and study.
Using it to support students with their studies and educating them on how they can incorporate AI into their studying and assessments without commiting an academic offence
